'Global Connections Challenge'
Thanks to everyone, my 2009-2010 class had visits from all seven continents before the end of 2009. Each school year I challenge my class to spread the word about our classroom web site in order to get visits from all seven continents. You can see the visits to our site below on a really cool hit counter from Clustrmaps. This simple exercise demonstrates how connected the world is through the Internet, and it provides for awesome teachable geography moments. Please spread the word about www.mrbarnett.com to everyone you know so they too can learn a little about us and what we're learning about.
**Note to visitors** If you have a picture of where you live, or use Google Earth, save your location as a .JPG and email it to me, and I'll start a photo slide show of all of our visitor locations. This is an awesome way of showing how small our world really is. So far, a former teacher at Longview, Ms. Skaug, has sent us a picture of her new home in Germany. You can see Longview at the top of this page or in the slideshow. Teachers and classrooms who are visiting our site, please email me your classroom web page and I will add you to our Classroom Web Pages from Around the World links.
I would like to personally thank each visitor for contributing to our learning community.
Thank you,
Mr. Barnett jbarnett@mlsd.wednet.edu
